This is a “very good” to “near mint” vintage hardcover with black paper wrapped boards, black cloth wrapped spine, and cloth head and tail bands sewn into spine. Published by Barnes and Nobles in 1997, 331 pages.
First edition.
Book is solid, text block closes tightly and square, edge bright and clean all around. The title page has a vertical crease and the lower corner is mildly creased, otherwise no loose, torn or folded pages. No writing or plates. Board corners are all sharp.
The matching DJ is not clipped, no tags, labels or marks. No tears. Very uniform in color all around, not tanned or sunned. Certainly a much better than typical jacket. Available with optional removable archival cover for the jacket.
